UN Judge Lydia Mugambe Invokes ‘Immunity’ Before Her Conviction for Enslaving Woman

Lydia Mugambe, who also serves as a High Court judge in Uganda, was found guilty of forcing the woman to work as her maid and provide childcare for free. Prosecutors told Oxford Crown Court that she “took advantage of her status” in the “most egregious way” by deceiving the victim into travelling to the UK.

The court heard that Mugambe prevented the woman from securing stable employment and intended to “obtain someone to make her life easier at the least possible cost to herself.” However, the 49-year-old defendant denied the allegations, claiming she had “always” treated the woman with love, care, and patience.
